Yes, I do have two movies from the 1930s, both from 1938: Bringing up Baby and Holiday, both starring Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant.
Bringing up Baby is a classic screwball comedy. Hepburn and Grant are a great pair, I don't know why they only made four movies together. But, after Spencer Tracy, Hepburn costarred with Grant the most often. Bringing up Baby is a classic black and white comedy, and one of my favorite movies.
Holiday is a black and white film, based on a play. It's a thoughtful study on life, class and the obligations that can trap you. It's as relevant today as it was in 1938. The three Seaton siblings and their father are wonderfully portrayed, as is the outsider Johnny Case, played by Grant. I come back to this film time and time again, because it is a beautiful film about the struggle of the human spirit to beat back social pressure and find your own path in life, and to be true to yourself above all else.
